The L bracket is part of the car and likely gone to China with Daniels wreck. A bastard to drill out its spot welds anyway. Make yaself a custom bracket. A good way to clean these bottles is with after a good old detergent/degreaser inside and out - sand inside and shake it about as an abrasive for the crud build up - makes 'em look like new.

Got another? il take it if you dont sam?
So you put it wherever it but above or below the neck level?
Then it over flows into there, then gets sucked back. Cool.
Your rad cap would want to be good. Wouldn't the level of fluid be pretty close to the top?

Thanks to mud king for the free overflow bottle

Didn't take much to clean it out sufficiently. I've mounted it near the jack, two small slots in the metal below the crunch zone and a big hose clamp thingy around the bottom of the bottle, really solid. The hose is handily the same diameter as was already there so I just routed it up above the headlight to the overflow tube.

Haven't tested it out yet, probably won't get any overflow since the level would have sorted it self out after I over filled it.

Here ya go. Yes the bottle is on an angle and back to front

It's only to stop coolant spilling onto the road after all

that is an overflow bottle, it isnt designed for expansion and contraction quite possibly it will work but yeah.

mudking and brumby king, one working with carby motor not complete, one nearly finished and now i have a new one that will probably be stripped compete with rego. if i can get my hands on a brumby or a sedan to replace it

spike · Post by **spike** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:14 pm

mud_king91 · Post by **mud_king91** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:33 pm

thats ok id have to organise pick up... know any good places to get a brumby rolling body/ interior ?

spike · Post by **spike** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:36 pm

id say yes, but the car was burnt the other night......................(very upset)

best place i know of is subarwreck, why cause i trust them and know i can get stuff there, prices are more than private but i can live with that makes me want them more

mud_king91 · Post by **mud_king91** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:38 pm

hahaha your the first person to tell me something good of subawreck

spike · Post by **spike** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:52 pm

ive done work there, yes ive heard all the crap about them. the boss isnt a buisness man by all accounts, a friend of mine phoned him looking for a brumby rear gate and got told to 'piss off' whether this was artistic licence is quite possible but also its likely thats exactly what paul said.
The thing is people phone up, even when i was there, basically say what parts they want and what theyre going to pay. Say an LSD and rear disks for 350 all up and wonder why they get told to go away, you dont go to maccas and say how much you will pay.
if you have the time theyre good to get to know, if you want parts and money is no object theyre good to see, if you havent got the time or money its not worth seeing them

If you could mount that bottle so that the "max" line is at least level with the top of the radiator you'll find it easier to get all the air out of the radiator...

Either way it is a huge improvement over the tube down the side of the radiator! Perfect for robe (nudge nudge, wink wink), now to sort out that thermo fan!

Haha yeah yeah

I was concerned about the levels lining up with the rad level but couldn't really get it high enough next to the jack, and the only other free place is where Jonno has his (right next to the spare wheel) but then it's just to catch the overflow instead of going on the road.
